"jeezum-crow \'jee-zum-'kroe\ interj - Benign alternative to the pejorative "Jesus Christ." Used as an exclamation of frustration or emphasis, most often in a sentence all by itself; "Jeezum-crow! Where are my mittens?" Very common to northern Aroostook County, far less so in western New Brunswick counties"

Why is Jesus Christ's middle initial H? What does the H stand for? Is the H a colloquialism too? In Maine? This is probably an improper subject; being Good Friday and all.

Oh oh!
